Details for Presenters:

  • Please use the LFN Technical Meetings PowerPoint Template for your presentations.

  • We request that you be on your assigned bridge 5 mins prior if possible and sharing your session's cover slide

  • We encourage you to use the following virtual background if your systems supports it: LFN Zoom Background Image

  • Sharing must be started by the host account.  

  • Auto-record to the cloud is set by default for most sessions. If there is not a presenter change between sessions, please ensure that you stop the recording and then start a new one.

  • If desired you or your scribe can create/edit minute pages on the 2020 October Virtual Technical Event Minutes page.

  • Presenters are responsible for: 

    • Uploading your presentation materials to your session on the Topic Proposals page.

    • Adding a brief post-session summary to the Daily Summaries page - especially for any working sessions

    • Uploading the cloud recordings to the wiki- see instructions below

UPLOADING RECORDINGS

  • We want to consolidate recordings in one location to ensure that we don’t lose any of them.  It takes some time to render the recordings, usually 10-15 mins for a 1 hour recording. So you will need to go back later to get the recordings.  (LFN Staff will handle the uploads of  sessions that take place on the plenary bridge)

  • To upload:

  • Use the previously distributed Zoom account info to login as the account assigned to your session

  • Once logged in, click on the “recordings” link in the left hand navigation menu

  • Find the session with the start time column entry that matches the day and timestamp for your session

  • Verify that the recording is indeed for your session :-)

  • Download the recording to your computer

  • Rename the file to match your session.

  • Upload it to the Recordings page on the LFN wiki: 2020 October Virtual Technical Event Recordings

  • delete your recording from the Zoom account after it has been uploaded to the wiki.
